Chapter 229: Death and Rebirth
Chapter 229: Death and Rebirth
"Bai Lan, I will remember you. Even if you turn into ashes, I will never forget you!" Li Xunxian's hair was disheveled and his tone was sad.
These words sound like a last will.
Li Xunxian still had some trump cards. Even when she was besieged by three Jindan masters, they were unable to kill her instantly. She just fought steadily.
The identities of these three Jindan masters are not simple, and they naturally have lethal weapons on them. However, in this kind of three-on-one must-win game, there is of course no need to waste trump cards and expose their strength.
So the three of them shaved slowly tacitly.
Now Li Xunxian was almost killed, seriously injured, and his spiritual power was exhausted. Now he left his last words.
He has been forced into a desperate situation and there is a high probability that he will self-destruct and take others with him.
The three Jindan stage cultivators looked at each other and quickly flew away several meters.
Li Xunxian chuckled, staring at Bai Lan, raised his hand and took out a sixth-level red talisman, and as the spiritual power flowed in his hand, he detonated the talisman on the spot.
The aftermath of the explosion pushed everyone back several meters, flames raged, and the roar shook the earth.
After blocking the attack, the Golden Bell Cover dimmed again. Its spiritual power was completely exhausted and it urgently needed to be replenished.
Feeling that Li Xunxian's breath was gradually weakening, Bai Lan frowned slightly.
With three Jindan stage consciousnesses watching him, Li Xunxian certainly couldn't escape.
But why didn't he blow himself up, but instead committed suicide using talismans?
Self-destruction will occur the moment the spiritual consciousness is activated, while there is a lot of room for maneuver in detonating the talisman.
Not right, not right.
Is there some fraud in it?
The game was loaded back to the beginning of the battle. This time, Bai Lan's consciousness was fixed on Li Xunxian.
Sure enough, a second before the talisman was detonated, Li Xunxian's body began to fall rapidly as if his soul had been pulled out.
But the explosion followed closely, turning his body into ashes.
Li Xunxian's soul escaped from her body before the talisman exploded, but it must not have gone far.
Only cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage have the means to control their Nascent Soul to escape. Once the soul of a cultivator in the Core Formation stage becomes three-dimensional, it will dissipate in less than a moment.
Unless one is like Gongsun Lian, who has a heavenly-level technique that can transform oneself into a ghost cultivator.
So...her soul is most likely now residing in some magical weapon or soul-nourishing tree that can seal her consciousness.
After putting away the Golden Bell Cover, Bai Lan looked at the two Lan sisters, followed the three Jindan cultivators and walked to the center of the battlefield.
The ashes remaining on the ground, still slightly warm, were Li Xunxian's ashes.
There is also a well-preserved storage bag and a ring inside.
"Totally dead."
"That's all."
"A dignified Jindan cultivator actually uses the devilish method of poisonous insects to control low-level cultivators. It's really..."
Bai Lan's expression flickered slightly, and his eyes swept across the ring on the ground.
As we all know, there are three places where the residual soul likes to live most: in the protagonist's mind, in the soul-nourishing tree, and in the ring.
The spiritual awareness of Jindan stage cultivators is powerful, such as the skeleton old man at the bottom of the cliff.
Even though he had been dead for hundreds of years, his soul had been sealed within his skull using a secret method, and a wisp of his consciousness still remains to this day.
It is highly likely that Li Xunxian has never possessed another person's body before, which is why he is trying so hard to retain a trace of his consciousness.
So that I can find a lucky person at random in the future to take over his body, and then I will still have a chance to survive.
Considering this person's treacherous habits, this guess is most likely true.
After saving the file, Bai Lan smiled and bowed to the three Jindan cultivators: "Thank you for your help today. There are some spirit stones in the box to thank you for saving my life."
In the Tianji Pavilion, the price for a Jindan stage cultivator to make a move is one hundred thousand.
But the jade boxes given by Bai Lan contained two hundred thousand spirit stones each.
The three received the jade box, and after they probed inside with their spiritual sense, they were all slightly surprised.
"It's just that this person has a connection with me, so her storage bag and the things she left behind..."
The three Jindan masters looked at each other and understood instantly.
According to convention, Li Xunxian was killed by the three of them, so the things in the storage bag should naturally be divided equally among the three of them.
Now that they have received Bai Lan's spirit stones, they naturally should not think about the storage bag left by Li Xunxian anymore.
The total assets of a Jindan stage cultivator are worth about this price. After suffering so much loss in the previous battle, I am afraid there is not much left.
But what they didn’t know was that the 600,000 spirit stones they spent were not used to buy Li Xunxian’s storage bag, but the working soul of a Jindan stage cultivator.
If Li Xunxian's soul is not in there, or if the things in her storage bag are not worth 600,000...
She is about to use the file loading technique.
"Of course, I'm just helping out, and I don't expect any benefit from it." Mayor Hei's words were polite, but he put the jade box away quickly.
"Thank you very much, senior, and thank you Miss Xue'er. I, Bai Lan, will never forget your life-saving grace today." Bai Lan smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll tell Xue'er when I get back."
"Senior, walk slowly."
After taking advantage of others, she is not afraid of exposing her identity.
I just don’t know how Long Aotian will prove that he is not Bai Lan in disguise when he meets Xue’er again next time?
Ao Yan Ao Yu and Ao Tian's specific expressions can no longer prove their identity.
After seeing off the elders of the Black Market, Bai Lan looked at Yun Shuiyue standing beside him.
She knew that Yun Shuiyue would definitely come, because Lan Jinyu and Lan Jinyao would definitely find a way to save their good ancestor.
After all, they only have the first two levels of the Ice Condensation and Ten Thousand Wood Techniques~
If something went wrong with the ancestor, their skills would be interrupted, especially Lan Jinyu. Without the ability to condense ice into qi, her cultivation would stagnate.
"And to Senior Yun and...and the two girls for saving our lives today. I never thought that the senior would actually come here in person to help." Bai Lan said as he bowed.
Yun Shuiyue was a Jindan-stage cultivator, so she was naturally used to seeing Qi-refining-stage juniors bowing to her.
But Lan Jinyu and Lan Jinyao behind her panicked.
After the ancestor performed this salute, both of their hearts skipped a beat.
If Bai Lan had not given an order earlier not to reveal her ancestor's identity to anyone, both of them would have wanted to kowtow to the ancestor on the spot.
Yun Shuiyue smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, you are a friend of Jin Yu and Jin Yao, and naturally you are also my junior. Saving you is just a matter of convenience. Such evil and crooked ways are the right thing for us righteous cultivators to kill."
"You are truly a kind person, senior. If I have free time in the future, I will definitely go to the Lan Mansion to thank the two girls." Bai Lan looked at the two sisters.
Lan Jinyu nodded, but her tone was inexplicably a bit at a loss: "Yes, yes, if you are free, you must come to the Lan Mansion and sit down."
"Yes, yes, sister is right!"
After sending away two waves of people in succession, Bai Lan finally turned his gaze towards Master Changlu.
Master Changlu raised his eyebrows, stood with his hands behind his back, and raised his chin slightly: "Come on."
